Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1820, having multiple-bay two-storey catslide addition to full length of rear. Pitched artificial slate roof having clay ridge tiles and rendered chimneystacks. Smooth rendered front elevation and roughcast rendered elsewhere. Square-headed window openings to front, having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Two-over-two pane and one-over-one pane and double timber casement windows elsewhere. Square-headed entrance door opening to front having double-leaf timber panelled door with margined paned overlight. Half-glazed timber panelled door to rear elevation. Outbuildings to rear with pitched roofs and coursed rubble stone walls. Approached by long sweeping driveway.
This is an elegantly composed early nineteenth-century house which expresses a sense of grandeur that belies its relatively modest size. The building retains many interesting features including timber sliding sash windows and a doorway with a decorative overlight. The group, comprising house and associated outbuildings, is pleasantly located on a secluded site set well back from the road.
